SomaCow Media is proud to present SomaCow brought to you by A Space That Works.
In this, our finest hour, we had a special guest in the studio, Suzanna from A Space That Works. With her we discuss how she got into this business, what stereotypes come out in people she’s helped, and how she can help us.
Suzanna used to be a messy girl but has reformed and now helps others. Producer Ross won her doing Trivia on Game Show Radio. Well, he won us an hour of her time to help SomaCow get organized in the Martini Room. You see, this is no small task. While the room may be small (and entirely too warm), it has 6 shows worth of crap in there. I mean we have Say… Anything, Just Push Play, The Lunar Room, The Sports Buzz, The Aftermath, and of course, SomaCow. We all bring in our personal items in to make the space more… personal!
If you ever stop by the Ustream chat and you see myself or Jen in there, ask and we shall give you the most awesomest of tours.
We also talked about the difference in trying to organize women vs. men. Do women have more crap? Are they more emotional and attached to said crap? What have you seen? Are you a pack rat?
So Suzanna had some great ideas. Some include:
- One of those industrial mirrors they use to see around corners could help you see each other better during the show. Is there an industry that large? Do whales wear cosmetics?
- Use a lazy susan and/or a big basket in the middle of the desks to hold the crap we keep amassing (a big lazy susan will also help you pass things to each other easily) (We have been saying maybe we need a female in the studio…)
- Put a basketball hoop over the trash can to add fun to your trash J (yeah, J, throw away your trash!)
- Hang a shoe organizer (the one with pockets) on the door to store small items – helps keep them easy to access (I guess this one is for Debe of Say… Anything?)
- Cubbies for different shows is a great idea! You can even have fun painting them, etc. Make sure they are big enough to hold what you need them to. The Say Anything cubby is already overflowing with booze and handcuffs, and the Just Push Play cubby has apparently become Brian’s new apartment.
- Use the half flower pots or similar items on the walls near each chair to hold pens, etc. (oh good, something else Mickey can break instead of our chairs!)
We’re not going to give away ALL of her secrets but she did give some good ones. She is very open to discussion and even has a message board!
We also checked out this new band to the hopper:
